Hi, hackers! Does anyone already working on boot code for Intel Flash cards 2 and 2+ series (PCMCIA)? If so, please drop me a note. I'm going to make FreeBSD booting from PCMCIA Flash card. Goal is FreeBSD-based diskless router with serial console and a lot of various network interfaces. Another solution for this task is to produce special ISA board with boot ROM and flash matrix, but I'll do it as "last resort" 'cos of difficulties with co-operation in development. I guess it's much easier to get PCMCIA interface+ flash card and make router more powerfull that CISCO or BAY :-) BTW, Linux community already has support for _bootable_ flash cards: http://hyper.stanford.edu/~dhinds/pcmcia/home.html It's relatively easy to boot Linux from anywhere using "inird" support in kernel. But I like FreeBSD :-) Bye, SY, Look_in To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
